I will arrange to meet one of the Arbitration committee or their counsel/lawyer/notaries as they wish, and I will be able to show possession all of the following officially issued non-computerized evidences held as at July 2007, in original (not scanned or photocopied): |
|
|
|
|
|
** Passport and driving license (photo ID x 2) for confirmation of real life identity, |
|
|
|
|
|
** (Unless I lose it) a copy of an expired passport with a visa stamp for a Far East country dated 1999-02-01, |
|
|
|
|
|
** A printed bank check book from a major bank with an 8 digit number whose digits total 32, |
|
|
|
|
|
** A credit/debit card from a major bank held as of July 2007 whose first and last 8 digits add up to 43 and 30 respectively, |
|
|
|
|
|
** A bank statement from a major bank showing a withdrawal dated 15 September 2006 for 35.93. |
|
|
|
|
|
I will also be able to discuss private matters which are known only to myself (FT2) and other arbcom members via email, and show such emails dating from July 2007 or earlier for verification if those others have kept copies. |
|
|
|
|
|
I may update this note as needed, but if there is contention, I will always be able to show most or all of the items listed from the original version of this note 1.00) dated 28 July 2007 UTC. |
|
|
|
|
|
The odds are good that I will be known in person to others at some point, at which time this note will probably become redundant. |
|
|
|
|
|
This is version 1.00 of my account authentication ID note, dated ~~~~~ |

I'm a Misplaced Pages ] and ] ("Arbcom") member, so if you need help, I'm one of the people to ask. |
|
|
|
|
|
As an administrator and editor, I'm a compulsive fixer of mess, so whatever I might be doing, if I see a '''project page''' that's not well laid out, a '''dispute''' that's getting heated because people aren't talking civilly and thinking about policy instead of personality, or an '''article''' that's a bit of a disorganized heap of text, I can't help it... it's a case of "let's go see if we can't offer a hand, get the stress down." In general, I'm involved in three main areas of Misplaced Pages: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# I do a lot of '''dispute handling''' and regular '''second opinions for other administrators''' and users, including a variety of informal '''mediations''', '''dispute smoothings''' and '''other decisions'''. This includes the more difficult '''AFDs''', and cases where possible '''unfair''' treatment or '''misconduct''' is alleged. I've also taken a number of '''persistent virulent warriors and sockpuppeteers''' through dispute resolution, to Arbcom when needed. I take care to make myself available to anyone who has a need for '''wiki-help or advice''', and I get taken up on that offer regularly. |
|
|
#:: <br />''If advice on a policy, dispute, or other editorial matter is needed, please ] or ] me.''<br /> |
|
|
# I have a '''penchant for cleanup of controversial and messy articles''', especially where sourcing, balancing, encyclopedic coverage, and cleanup is at issue. I particularly like cleanup of intro's, "overviews" and section structure, and disambiguation, and I've done that on many articles. I enjoy controversial subjects because it usually isn't ''that'' difficult to create a good balance, and it's good to reduce others' stress levels. |
|
|
#:: <br />''Articles I've worked on are listed ].''<br /> |
|
|
# Last, as '''part of the community''', I stop off to help on the ], the ], the ] ticketing system, some peer review and RFC's, and ]. I'm also a regular editor and improver of '''policy pages''' and other '''reference information''' that need to be exceptionally well designed and worded, due to the reliance placed on them. |
|
|
#:: <br />''Misplaced Pages project and other pages I've worked on are listed ].'' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Your process of collecting the consensus votes and working through the complete article, while at the same time posting to the talk page your progress to keep the antsy members of the contributing group abreast of your progress, seems to me to be a particularly appropriate form of agressive mediation; something I believe this article/dispute has been in need of.

I would still like to see the appearance of references and links to peer-reviewed psychological and zoological references. However the wildly POV aspect of the original article has been well toned down and FT2 is close to a neutral discussion. Personally I find the whole subject distasteful but have had to study it from a psychoanlytic POV and therefore appreciate the efforts of FT2. Thank you." |

FT2, I have had a difficult time here lately being accepted. I had typed it out already to them. At first, I had thought Misplaced Pages was most welcoming for all intelligent Wiki practitioners. But I have read the most childish things wrote to me these past days. One even had himself boasting to me that I was a newbie and laughed at me. This is pretty close to reaching defamatory comments. I think anyone writing such material should be permanently banned. I have spent time on Misplaced Pages writing out details that I thought would benefit the readers who come to this excellent encyclopedia site. I keep busy where I am, but I spend time reading lots of things on Misplaced Pages too. So, you could say that I'm really enthusiastic about this encyclopedia site, no big surprise! I have a pure fresh spirit that goes with my writing on Misplaced Pages. |
|
|
Late nights, I can sometimes be behind my computer keyboard fixing text and adding it as well. Wanting to participate is all I felt like doing. I have never taken away text, all I did was embrace it with additional words. |
|
|
|
|
|
Coming back to Misplaced Pages is what should be noted for because there is a lot of information to take in all at once here online. Misplaced Pages is top-notch for adding knowledge to the reader. |
|
|
I admit, I was really put off with all the negativity vibes I was getting. Misplaced Pages wasn't welcoming at all. I have felt of jaded negativity, especially the added distrust of the integrity or professed motives of Wikipedians who come on board to add something relevant. I don't think Misplaced Pages wants to be known for cynicism. |
|
|
I am a believer in Misplaced Pages, this is why I have spent hours on here adding text and neccessary citations. |
|
|
Documenting a relevant person on Misplaced Pages is a passion of mine.I am thinking that it gives Misplaced Pages much more validity with genuine thoughtful contributors. |
|
|
I have seen them on Misplaced Pages. I just can't understand why I am being the target of the month? |
|
|
All I see are harsh evolving differences in my writing. This turned into the Misplaced Pages dilemma this past week. I saw little co-operation in this matter til you and a few others spotted the presence of prolonged edits on my text. |
|
|
Issues turn into road blocks on Misplaced Pages over text that is up-to-date and relevant. Thank you for accepting me here on Misplaced Pages. I have felt tremendously isolated this past week. Thank you for looking into a few delquents who seem to relish in the redundant opportunity of vandalism. |
|
|
I appreciate your help, |

I started editing in 2004, wrote over a hundred articles, became an ], then appointed to the ] and shortly afterwards the ] in December 2007. In these roles, I have dealt with content writing, content policy, editorial disputes, community matters, privacy and sensitive issues, and a large number of fairly nasty editors and inappropriately-behaving admins. We're here as volunteers to write a reference work, which means fair handling is important. As of 2012 I'm still writing articles. |
|
|
|
|
|

I lean towards community approaches and a level field. I pushed for communal input in the ''Checkuser/Oversight appointment process'', provided the ''first on-wiki analysis'' of Checkuser tool use, and a load of others. At Arbcom itself I fought hard for better process, a formal structure for proposals to be examined and voted on, and better collaboration/workflow. |

As of October 2009, I stepped down from some roles. I'm still round though. In 2009-10 I served on the Foundation's ], in 2010 I was asked to visit and contribute at the Foundation's ], in 2011 I was invited onto the WMF ]. In 2012 I was active in the ], primarily co-ordinating and reviewing our messages, posts, and information flow.

Areas of interest: |
|
|
:* '']'' - I've written over a hundred articles and substantively contributed to many more. I have a wide interest; my contributions include physics and legal rulings, film plots and clinical science, technology and religion. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
:* '']'' - I help experienced users with difficult article wordings, input into difficult discussions, difficult neutrality cases, 2nd opinion, admin problem, email responses, and sensitive problems. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
:* '']'' - I work on policy wordings and process updates that help readers and volunteers to contribute and improve the project in turn. If one process or policy is cleaned up, or one poor wording is fixed, a thousand editors benefit from it and will save their time, stress and frustration. I love this aspect. ] has been cited at length in a 2012 ] ] as evidence covering Misplaced Pages's self-regulation and quality control. |

I also have a "real" life, and balancing the two's important. But I'm free to choose my work hours. It helps :) |
